Why Are My Shared Borders Missing When I Publish My FrontPage Web Site

Article Rating: 1 / 5 Votes: 4

Note: Microsoft FrontPage extensions are no longer available on new accounts, because they are no longer supported by Microsoft.

This behavior can occur if the document is missing the HTML body tags (<body> and </body>). FrontPage uses tables to create shared borders. It parses all of the HTML in between the body tags and places it in one cell in the table. If the document is missing body tags, the shared borders do not work as expected.

To resolve this issue you need to replace the body tags in the document:

1. Open your FrontPage software

2. Click on File in the main menu then click on Open and select the Web page with Shared Borders

3. Click on the HTML tab at the bottom of the page window

4. Type <body> directly below </head>

5. Type </body> at the end of the document, just before </html>

6. Save the page and republish
